Lastpass only, i prefer enjoying my surf on a fast browser (in Sandboxie) rather than being slowdowned by addons where i have to click all the time (ex: Noscript), i know how to surf properly so i dont mind running without security addons.

I use Noscript, Ghostery, & AdBlock Plus
I added Flashblock because I hate when websites start blaring out videos when you open them.
Remove this Permanently lets you choose elements that you never want to see, like ads, buttons and advertising videos. It has a lot of options. Right click on an area and a menu box shows the options. Hover over the option you want and it will put a red line around what will be removed so you don't remove too much. Handy for pages where I have to disable ad blocking to read the text. I just Remove the ads and they don't come back.
Also handy:
HttpsEverywhere sometimes breaks websites. For some reason, pcworld.com shows a blank page every time. I have to use Internet Explorer to view it. I keep Internet Explorer without addons, for some websites I can't otherwise view.
Hola Better Internet can be used to get around country blocking. I have it disabled unless I need it.

1. Session Manager
Essential for people who like to retain tabs from session to session.
2. LastPass
Password manager I prefer to Roboform; haven't tried others. Generates and stores long, secure passwords for me. Available for virtually any browser.
3. Lazarus: Form Recovery
A real blessing; whatever I type into a browser will not be permanently lost no matter what glitch occurs
4. Tab Mix Plus
Lets me duplicate tabs and open a new tab adjacent to the current tab.
5. QuickJava
Easy way to enable/disable Java and Flash.
Add-ons Manager Context Menu enabled me to copy and paste the extension names.
Just added Shumway, hoping it will let me view videos without Flash and having to lug around the resource glutton Plugin Container.
